Long Grove Basement Remodel

The Challenge: Turning Utility into Living Space

 

This project involved a full structural remodel of a neglected basement, moving beyond basic finishing to create a custom living area, complete with a new entertainment center and dedicated office space. The core challenges, addressed in our Phase 1 (Discovery, Planning, & Permitting), included: addressing latent moisture issues, ensuring proper ceiling height, and rerouting existing HVAC and plumbing lines to be fully hidden.

Managing the Hidden Complexities (Phase 2 & 3)

 

The success of a basement remodel is found in what you don’t see.

  • Risk Mitigation: Our Phase 2 (Demolition & Rough Structure) was critical. After controlled demolition, we applied advanced waterproofing solutions and meticulously leveled the floor before any new framing began. This upfront work is key to a lasting finish.

  • System Integration (Phase 3): During the Systems Installation & Finishes Prep phase, our long-term team excelled. We had to relocate the primary sewage ejector and integrate new electrical sub-panels without compromising the living space. This seamless coordination between our trades is where our 5-7 years of consistent collaboration truly pays off, avoiding conflicts that plague other remodeling jobs.

The Final Transformation

 

The finished space in Phase 4 (Transformation, Handover & Warranty) showcases a high-end finish that feels completely integrated with the rest of the home, not like a typical basement. The result is a high-value, dry, and functional area that proves our ability to handle structural complexity and deliver flawless finishes in any part of the home. This project is a perfect example of our commitment to predictable process and superior quality in major renovations.
